Email Marketing
Inactivated Segments if an Associated Field is Deleted
Issue
When there was a deleted field associated with a segment or query, the recipients were not being filtered.
Resolution
To ensure that emails are sent only to the intended recipients, inactivated segments that have a field deleted so that these segments are excluded from campaigns until these segments are fixed. If an existing, or a new segment has a deleted field, or if a segment is associated with a campaign set to a future date and a field is deleted during the segment creation date and set campaign date, such a segment is inactivated.
Inactive segment names are highlighted in red, and messages are added informing the users that the segments are inactive:
- When a user attempts to add a .csv or send emails, the segment with a deleted field is highlighted in red indicating that the segment is inactive and the message, " Please Review the Audience for the Campaign. An associated segment is no longer valid.", is displayed.
- The Edit Audience link in the Drafts tab displays an alert icon and when hovered on the icon the message, "An associated segment is no longer valid.", is displayed.

Added Sorting Functionality for All the Columns in the Draft and Queued Tabs
On the Create Email Campaign page, users can now sort records in ascending or descending order by clicking an arrow on a column header of the Draft and Queued tabs. The arrow pointing upwards indicates ascending order and the arrow pointing downwards indicates descending order.
Note: If there are special characters or numbers in the text columns, they precede the alphabet (in ascending order).
The order of sorting is developed based on the associated value of each column. The text columns are sorted alphabetically, the column values having counts are sorted based on the lowest or highest counts, and the date columns are sorted based on the latest or earliest date.

When the user clicked the Attendee List option, and then in the More Action menu, clicked Create Email Segment, the following success message appeared without the segment being created: "Your segment has been successfully created and is available as an audience in email marketing" . Now, the users can create email segments using the Attendee List option and view the newly created segment in the segment list. |
